Boiler quote

Our boiler is 27 years old and two radiators don’t work so it needs updating. Had two quotes
From plumbers
1 was for 3400 2 was for 3100 3 was 2400
The cheapest was British Gas which surprised me. BG do 2 years interest free credit which appeals to me. Also DG do a years cover on the boiler and heating for a year free. So do I go with BG or stick with the independent plumber.

Is it a straight swap or not? Also what part of the country are you in? Location plays a big part in price.0

Is the BG quote conditional on anything? There is a chance that they reserve the right to charge for anything that they find when doing the work, so it may not be a fixed price quote.
They might not have priced in a power-flush of the existing system. If they aren't power-flushing the existing system, then the new boiler warranty won't be valid and the boiler could have a very short life.
If they haven't omitted something from the quote that the plumbers have included (like power-flushing and replacing the two radiators), and the quote is a fixed price quote, I would go for BG. But do you need a new boiler and two new radiators, or would a powerflush (which costs about £450) fix the system?The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
